Some ideas for differentiation:
For more support, you can give students a specific article to read and give them more structure for how to make a personal connection. The theme statement can be generated whole-class as part of the closing.
To challenge students more, you can model with this theme and have students choose a different theme to work on independently. You can also have students provide support for each leg of the triangle (quotes, specific details, examples, etc).
Writing Activities:
Write an extended response where you support your theme statement. Use specific details and examples from the texts and from life.
